Wow alabama, I'm sorry for you..
If it wasn't for homebrew, I wouldn't drink beer!
About 6 years ago** I didn't drink beer, because I thought all beer was crap! I had only ever had "big beer" beer - bud, coors, miller etc. Then I met a friend who homebrewed, he gave me one of his and I said "this isn't beer, what the hell is this!?!?" he told me about his homebrew and I've been homebrewing ever since. **= it was not 6 years ago, but for legal reasons, I had to say six years ago. I do not now nor have I ever condoned underage drinking. My statements are my statements and not nececarily in line with the viewpoint of HBT.com forums.
